This report provides the Chairman of the board an analysis of the decisions and the results of the Company 1 in Period 2. The focus is given on how our company organized the process of planning in the Period 2 and I tried to critically analyze the results compared to our plans. In period 2 our company was seemed to do better than the previous period (period 1), but in my opinion period 2 was the beginning of our company’s crisis. We didn’t adhere to our differentiation strategy and we ignored our objectives. I strongly believe that if we have acted much differently and have the chance to redo the planning of the decision making of period 2 we would perform much better in all next periods.

IntroductionThis report is an attempt of informing the chairman of the board of the Company’s 1 plans, actions and mistakes during the period 2. It starts with the analysis of the process of planning and continues with the analysis of the results compared to our company’s plans. 2) Body

2.1) Planning of the Period 2.To begin with the Price, we planned to have the same price as Period 1 ( 3,090 eur), because we knew that customers dislike changes in the price and we didn’t want to have dissatisfied customers especially when we hadn’t yet persuaded them that our product was the best in quality so we couldn’t risk losing many of them. As for our investment in Advertisement we thought that if we kept investing the same amount (7.0mEur ) as Period 1 we would own the same or bigger market share. Then about Sales force we were thinking of having 110 in that period because as the “Topsim” mentions a sales force of 110 could increase sales up to 45000 units. We decided to set the price of 2,640 for the bid that was higher than our CGM in the period 1 (; 2,270eur).

We were thinking of purchasing 46,000 units of input materials and producing 50,000 units of Copy I as we were thinking that we have to be able to respond to the increase of market 1 demand (8%-10%) and to serve the bids in case we won that. After that we started thinking of cutting down the cost of the rest investments we had to do. So we thought that investing few or no money to the rest of our potential investments would be enough. So here are our thoughts of investments:

1,0mEur in CI, putting 10 people at the Copy I-old technology, 0,50mEur in Ecology of Copy I-old and 0,1mEur in Value Analysis of Copy I-old, 0 people in technology and 0,0 mEur in ecology and 0,0 in value analysis of Copy I-new, 1,0mEur in Maintenance of our Type A production lines and 0,0mEur in Rationalization of them, no new investment or disinvestment of the production lines and no new types of lines, 0,0 mEur process optimization, 0,0 mEur in training production workers, 0,0 mEur in investment in environmental plants, 0 number of recruiting or dismissal of production workers, non-salary staff costs 37%, short-term loan 15,0 mEur, long-term loans 0,0 mEur, dividends 40%, purchase of securities 0,0 mEur.

2) Body
2.2) Critically analyze the results compared to our plans. I have to mention that generally, in the most periods, as we were planning our steps we were trying to focus on the company’s objectives (; increase our employees productivity; decrease the negative ecological footprint; retain the market share>17% ) and how we would achieve those through our actions. However, in period 2 we didn’t act like our decisions and results would have a long term effect on the potential achievement of our goals, we tried a different tactic, which was cutting all investments costs extremely and maybe as we see from the results of that period and the next that was a...

...﻿Starbucks Growth
This is a report about Starbucks PLC. Starbucks is a global coffee shop chain, with 20,891 stores throughout 62 countries. Along with many other business objectives, the company has been focusing on growth and expansion. There are two different types of growth that have to be distinguished. Internal or organic growth, which involves investing in already existing products or developing new ones within a business, these investments are made with the primary goal of attracting and satisfying customers. The investments will usually be financed by bank loans or retained profits. External growth involves much larger amounts of money and resources from other companies. This type of growth is more risky, can however also generate larger amounts of profit, faster.
Starbucks was founded in Seattle in 1971 and focused primarily on organic growth during roughly the first decade of its existence. During the 1980s the sales of coffee within the US were falling, however the sales of specialty coffee were increasing. This created an opportunity for Starbucks because its primary focus is on selling different types of specialty coffee. The sales of specialty coffee went from being at 3% in 1983 to 10% in 1989, giving Starbucks a larger market to operate in. Although this expansion in the market meant that Starbucks would have more competition, Starbucks only profited from the increased customer base in the following...

different types of compensations strategies
that the company could adopt. The three I


Is taking the many salary ranges and condensing
them down.
This is a great way of promoting lateral moves.
◦ People are not staying with companies for the long term,
so this will help eliminate the turn over.
◦ Employees will become more diverse and possible find a
position with the company they enjoy.
◦ “Compensation programs were designed in the ‘50s and
‘60s for hierarchical organizations. We don’t have
hierarchical organizations anymore. Organizations need
to be fluid to move as the markets move.” (Tyler, 64)

Analysis:
◦ Broad banding is a great way to narrow down from
many salary levels to only 5 to 10. This is a great
way to promote lateral moves.
 In this day its really hard to move up in a company so
employees are not staying their whole life.
◦ Some drawbacks:
 Many moves need to be put into place to make sure
transition is smooth.
 Organization that do not take the time to do...
